I take 60mg ER propranolol for hormone related(menopause) tachycardia /palpitations. Do I need to stop the medication before surgery if I'm having lipo and tummy tuck?

Answer: Propranolol and surgery We instruct most patients to stop taking their blood pressure medications (especially beta blockers like propranolol) the day of surgery because the general anesthetic frequently lowers blood pressure and can cause slowed heart rate as well.

Answer: Medications This is not typically a medication that needs to be stopped. However it is important that you discuss all medications that you take including prescription, over the counter and supplements with your surgeon. She/He will advise which you need to stop and which can be continued.
